In Search of my Body...Not The One I ate...#3 "Crowning Goddesses As We Go"

[amykab]

2nd book, 2nd time. Have to read it so I can be ready to read the 3rd and 4th ones - for the first time, missy!

Go get it already!

You haven't read eclipse yet??? I loved that one almost as much as twilight. It's very PG-13. I'll just say that Edward gets a bed in Eclipse.

 

[3DisneyKids]

MAJOR eye-rolling from me. Really, you two? Is it really THAT good?

 

[amykab]

Like I said...It IS crack on paper. Seriously.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Total book crack. Seriously, isn't it impressive that two intelligent women you know are swooning over a BOOK? Like, how rockstar are WE? We get weak in the knees for the written word!



I can spin ANYTHING. Have I ever mentioned that? Also, I'm totally right.


Erika - it is that good. Drink the Kool-Aid.

Amy - No, I read the first two, got made at Stephanie and Edward and Jacob and Bella and threw it all down. Then I reread Twilight last month for book club, fell in love again, saw the movie and decided I was wrong. Reading New Moon a second time is a pleasure. I love Jacob, feel sorry for Edward, adore Bella and Stephanie has been forgiven. (She's the author, you non-Twilighters.)

Kat - thanks, babe. Eh. It will sort itself out.


OME, BED???? Swoon. Swoon.

 

[amykab]

And we all know that Edward doesn't sleep...

 

[Dizneydawn]

hello all...just wanted to say hi fast and let you know that I am on for the trip...last minute school/college drama before the kids miss 6 days...

We are on for Raglan Road at 8p.m. Sat evening...my kids will be there...and after dinner they can head out if they want to...

Good news on the weight frontline...down to 234 today...Dan is down to a 44" waist from a 48" when we met...He looks hot in his new duds he needed...

We are a long way from perfect...but better than before..and are going to be looking for inspiration from you all in a few days...

I will read tonight...and post my replies!

Have a mtg now and an afternoon Tupp party....

 

[Dizneydawn]

What also is like crack is you guys...I take a peek to see what I miss and I read the past 3 pages...

So Steph - I am glad you straightened out the mess about Nate - I know sometimes I type and don't think how it may have came accross - I hoope you two can keep developing a better relationship - and I get it...more than you know -hard for a realtionship to grow healthy when the other parent involved is so angry over the break-up thatt hey cannot look at what is in the best interest of the child.

E - great word choices as well - you can always help facilitate anything into a positive trend...and I want to squeeze your thighs like some people do a bicep...cause looking back at pics...you are wonderwoman!

Kat - beer goddess to the stars..you crack me up...and I am sorry about your mom's friend...you are inmy thoughts...and I also am glad you now know you lasted longer than most would have at the old job..can you bring that to the attention of your new boss and get a retroactive raise!

Paula - Yeah on the 1 pound loss...

Lyz - cookie queen...I miss you...I will try and call sometime before we leave...

Liz and Amy - I know you swoon over this man form the books..and I hope I do as well...need to go buy it...but I am saying...I feel that way about Dan...no joke...he is my sleep deprived vamp...and when you guys meet him...keep your fangs off!

Maybe I will not be as intrigued since I was lucky enough to get the real thing...maybe I need to start writing my books...change up the names...

He could be the next sexy plumber..."Deeke Millman...when woman want their pipes checked..." In bookstores now... - (Okay must get sleep!)

Speaking of which...
QOTD.....

if you were in a book or movie..what would your role be and who would play you?

 

[3DisneyKids]

I'll thank you to keep your hands off of my thighs...

However, I did have an awesome three-way with Kat and Liz today.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Dirty!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Hey, I said you were good!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

So...once upon a time this was a weight loss thread. And here I am, with a weight loss issue.

I threw in the towel this weekend. And I don't want to weigh in. Because I gained and I don't want to know how much. And I don't want to go to WDW heavier than I was. Which is crazy, right? I need to get back on track TOMORROW. So I should weigh in, right? Or maybe I can push it to Thursday? But weigh in before I leave?

Thoughts?

HELP! I want to be at goal and I know the new WW program will help me focus, but in the meantime, help.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Hey, I said you were good!

Well, that's true. As long as you put it that way...

 

[HockeyKat]

Hey, don't bring my name into this!!! Sorry girls, but I am a guy-only kind of gal!


No thigh-squeezing allowed. That is just squicky. Like really, eww.


As to the Liz question... I feel your pain, really, really I do. I have so been there. I would say weigh in Thursday. That is what I am going to do...trying to stay strong until Thurs or Fri AM.

I did do a weigh-in this morning and I am pretty much the same weight that I was 2 weeks back, so I am good with that. No gaining considering the end of last week and binging on everything in sight, I will take it. My goal is to be roughly this weight at the beginning of Jan.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Hey....for all of you who read AllEars, my buddy Michelle is the feature author this week. She is my twin, removed at birth. We are both college professors, both live here in northern New England, are the same age, and most importantly both started running just this year with no prior experience and are training for the Disney Half.

It is a fun read for anyone interested in running. I have to give her sh*t, though, cause she didn't mention me in the article!

Ok, time to get the kids in bed. Phew. This has been a long one.

Oh, btw, 5 miles.

 

[3DisneyKids]

LIZ--I am going to tell you what you would tell me. Go to WW at your regular time tomorrow and weigh in. Face it, own it...because only then can you deal with it. None of us are where we want to be for this trip (um, hello? I am so far off the path I can't even see it anymore)....but the reality is that we are SO much further than we were a year ago at this time. In more ways than just weight.

 

[amykab]

Hey Girls...

Ugh. I have a low grade fever and feel like crap. I kinda laid low all day, and just did a bit of decorating and some stuff on the computer. My left ankle is also super sore. I forgot to mention I partially twisted it in a small pothole (luckily I caught myself) during the 1/2 on Sunday. I did weigh myself today, 1 pound down from last week, no doubt due to the 20 miles I put in last week. So I am 2 pounds away from losing the last of those forever reappearing 5 pounds for the 4th time!!!

Liz, I am torn on the weigh in thing. I'd probably go tomorrow. Then you know and can focus on staying on track.

I'm off to go swoon over my twilight books.

Hurry up and read it Erika!! Then you'll understand the obsession.

In the interest of full disclosure of my obsession. I do own this shirt from Hot Topic.

Cheers
Amy

And if a kid shows up and is not dressed for the theater, well then the world freaking comes to a halt. The kids can't go if they aren't dressed appropriately. And of course, they are the ones who freak out when they walk into the room and realize that everyone else is all dressed up and they aren't. There are tears and tantrums and the whole lot.

However, I am a class mom goddess, right? I always have a stash of appropriate clothes in a variety of sizes so we can change the kid right there and avoid the whole tragedy. And unless a kid is truly a wildly different size than is the norm for that age, we are good. Shoes--eh--that is the hard part. Can't always make that happen and then we have to call the mom (who usually bursts into tears herself because she knows that she dropped the ball on this one), but the stars aligned today and we were able to scramble without too much ado, and all of the little darlings were dressed in their velvet and tights or ties or whatever. And they are blissfully on the buses and out of my hands. My job is done.

OMG. That is so unbelievably loving my stomach dropped immediately. My God so lovely Erika.


______________________________________________________________

Steph - wow. So much...so so much. I'm speechless really. to you. Have you considered some counselling with Steph on the issues at hand?

Dawn - I just read your question to us all and forgot it already.
You must so excited about your trip. A chance to breathe. That's so nice. Congrats on the weight. Down is down.

Liz - weigh in. Because it doesn't really matter, right? Because you're already a success. An absolute success. And you've been trying to teach me that it is just a number. So you can't tell your student that and then not follow that yourself.

Lyz - I loved you wanting to get the "witch". But Lyz the poster could have been a warlock. Who knows. I love the jealousy by them. Bring it on witch or warlock. I love reading my thread there on the rent/trade. I was such a firm, tough witch myself. I did that on purpose. I was trying to ward off the ugly wugglies that waste one's time and patience there. And it worked. But hard for me. I love your got your back sister. It empowers me Lyz. I haven't had it a lot in my life. It's very important to me. I've been surrounded by people who have wanted to "get me" instead. So thanks, once again, for being you.

Amy - loved your race report. It's really something to imagine. You should be so proud of yourself. The pics - so precious. I like Lyz's pic and the one with the bow. She is so cute.

Kat - oh my boy loving Kat. Look at you. On such a roll. On track when you once thought for awhile you didn't have it in you. And you did. And you are there. So nice. And maintaining - so flippin' smart of you as goal for a bit. It's so underestimated. So much.

Erika - are you trying to take me to the dark side in booking DVC? I have a very annoying overactive conscience. Take me slowly. I'm trying to figure it all out. I'm surmising booking and cancelling days. Hmmmm. But still I need enough points to begin with to cover one weekend into the next week. I'm so slow and confused.

Oh and someone PMed me and said they absolutely wanted the reservation if my transaction falls through. Which proves once again we don't need to price so low.

Liz - Slow again. Is the next Twilight book the book choice for your club. My head hurts I'm so slow tonight. I should go back and read again. I missed something.

Paula is off, eh? Gosh your trips came so quickly.



I feel very low tonight. I don't know why. But oh well - onward.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Lisa - Twilight is what we read in November. Amy and I are into the whole series. So we talk about it all the time!

Honey, be good to yourself, okay? Just throwing that out there.


Amy, I so love you. I am bummed we are not going to be able to have a drink together. Adore the shirt. Thinking about one that says "Live. Love. Dazzle." or the one that says "Stupid Shiny Volvo Owner" or a Cullen Baseball one. Because I do adore all the Cullens. Thoughts?


As for weighing in, you all are right. But I am so off track, sooo off track, i feel like the number might depress me. I think I might be better suited going back on tomorrow, then weighing in on Friday, so I am thinking about losing when I head to WDW. I don't know. I have to weigh in this week, but does it have to be tomorrow?

That is the question.

Goodnight all. Off to read.

It so suprises me when you all are "off" the wagon. You are weight loss superstars and I just imagine you all happy - eating leafy greens and almonds. Skipping thru a field of leafy greens. Pooping leafy greens. Ok, well not really, but you see what I mean.

Lisa - suppy and demand. You got it. They want it. You are right, this was a one time deal. Bully for you my friend. And I'm sorry you are low. Low is a bummer. I myself am coming off a low. Here is a big ol hug.

So I am getting the Twilight tomorrow. Liz - you are a pusher. And Amy - the t-shirt, hi lar ious!

I haven't read All Ears for a while. Will have to go have a lookie loo.

I pig out, but on better stuff. Like, I drink and then eat cheese fries instead of just eating cheese fries sober. Or I eat some pieces of 1pt candy instead of hitting the grocery store for real candy. Or I make popcorn and that's my big indulgence. Not crap, right, but still too much. No leafy greens. No water. I just rebel.

Glad you are buying the book. I want constant updates.
